Thanks Brooke,
Seems like something way over my head for what I could build successfully.
I would need very definite construction plans and don't have access to past
QST articles. Don't have much practical experience - especially with RF
circuits.
If I had a choice, I really would like something more compact than a loop
antenna anyway. I'm toying with the idea of building a ferrite loop, but
need to a lot of experimenting to find the correct number of turns to make
it work at 60 kHz.
Thanks again
Joe

Hi,
New member to the group. Thank you for letting me participate.
I have a question.
Just received a Spectracom 8163, but can't find an 8206 antenna anywhere,
reasonably priced.
Has anyone on the East coast (I am in NJ) had any results with the shielded
loop antenna shown on the febo website with an 8163 ?
I wonder if I should go thru the trouble to build the antenna, or just wait
until I can find another that will work.
Also, any alternate suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks much
Joe Lippencott

Hi Joe:
The Dymec DA100 active whip works well as does the (modified) AMRAD
active whip, see: http://www.pacificsites.com/~brooke/LF-Ant.shtml
http://www.pacificsites.com/~brooke/DR33.shtml#DA100
Do you have any nearby RTTY stations near 60 kHz? If so the loop may
have the advantage of being able to null it out.
Welcome and Have Fun,
Brooke Clarke, N6GCE
